Abstract

Let p ∈ (1, ∞) and let Ω ⊆ ℝN be a bounded domain with Lipschitz continuous boundary. We characterize on L2(Ω) all order-preserving semigroups that are generated by convex, lower semicontinuous, local functionals and are sandwiched between the semigroups generated by the p-Laplace operator with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We show that every such semigroup is generated by the p-Laplace operator with Robin-type boundary conditions.
